Originally, Jiang Chuyi had no good impression of Wen Changchuan, but when he heard his voice, he strangely felt like he was saved.
Faced with Wen Changchuan, whose background he couldn't figure out, He Sizhao decided to be on high alert.
He winked at Ji Xia, indicating that he should take care of Jiang Chuyi for the time being, and then walked out with Su Mo.
Lu Qianzhi hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
The air pressure in the room suddenly dropped, and Jiang Chuyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt that she had never been so tired in her life.
Just when she finally thought she could relax, she turned around and met Ji Xia's expression of understanding and pity.
Jiang Chuyi: ...?
Ji Xia slowly approached, deliberately avoiding the old professor. With a perceptive tone, she said, "So your health is so poor. I misunderstood you before. I'm sorry."
Jiang Chuyi: ...?
What exactly did you misunderstand?
However, with the old professor present, she couldn't say much clearly and could only stand there with a blank face.
Looking at Ji Xia's slightly guilty expression, the more she looked, the more her toothache grew.
In fact, Ji Xia didn’t think too much about it. He just suddenly realized something.
Although in his memory, Jiang Chuyi was a heartless and ruthless zombie king, no one seemed to remember what she was like before she became the zombie king.
It turns out that she was once a cute and beautiful girl, who would be happy or angry when playing games, liked furry toys, and felt happy when seeing delicious food.
This made him feel a little guilty. He realized that he had been looking at her with the eyes in his memory, and wishfully gave her those things he thought she was, but he did not see her true appearance.
It turned out that he had been treating a girl in such poor health so harshly.
This made him, who was honest by nature, feel extremely ashamed.
As for why Jiang Chuyi remains like this, according to the timeline, she should have become the zombie king and wreaked havoc on everyone.
Ji Xia felt that he had come to terms with it.
Everything is different now. Jiang Chuyi did not turn into the Zombie King, and He Sizhao is still alive. This is the best future he can imagine.
As for why, it’s no longer that important.
The more he thought about it, the clearer it seemed to him. Looking at Jiang Chuyi, he felt more and more distressed and fond of her, which made Jiang Chuyi feel creepy.
Compared to the birth of a terrifying monster, what did Jiang Chuyi's petty capriciousness and arrogance even matter? What was wrong with wanting to bathe in roses? What was wrong with wanting to eat fresh vegetables? Compared to destroying the world, it was simply insignificant, okay?
Ji Xia was completely relieved, but Jiang Chuyi felt uncomfortable when he looked at her.
She could hear He Sizhao and the others talking to Wen Changchuan outside, but she didn't want to go out. She stood there for a few seconds and said, "I'm going to go to another room."
This person is really weird, okay?
She would rather Ji Xia still look at her with the same fearful eyes as before.
Ji Xia became anxious when he heard this. He had automatically put himself in the role of Jiang Chuyi's temporary protector, forgetting that this "weak" girl had just slapped a second-level intermediate expert to death.
"No, Captain He asked me to keep an eye on you..."
Jiang Chuyi glared at him and retorted his words.
Ji Xia looked at Wang Kangping for help, but the old professor was more open-minded and would not make things difficult for a little girl who was "suffering from a terminal illness".
"Go ahead," Wang Kangping said kindly, "but be careful not to run out. Otherwise, when Xiao Mo and General He come back and can't find you, they might cry."
Jiang Chuyi's face froze.
Some strange images have begun to appear in her mind, and the terrible thing is that these scenes might actually happen.
Looking at Wang Kangping, she nodded uncomfortably, agreeing.
She didn't like people wearing white coats, but this old man was not bad. She could feel pure kindness from him.
Jiang Chuyi walked out of another door without looking back. Ji Xia looked back with a bitter face, but still ran to catch up with Jiang Chuyi.
While Jiang Chuyi was wandering around, the conversation outside was continuing.
"It was indeed wrong for you to attack Zhou Chao and Guan Qiao, but no one has held you accountable yet. How did it get to this point?" Wen Changchuan was like a kind elder, feeling helpless and sad to see his juniors misbehaving.
He Sizhao remained calm: "Do Zhou Jinyi and Guan Wenbo agree with your opinion?"
Zhou Jinyi is the name of General Zhou.
He tore off the last bit of concealment and didn't even bother to put on a show. This was enough to show his position.
Wen Changchuan's eyes flickered, and his expression became a little serious. "Si Zhao, we've watched you grow up, and we don't think we've done anything wrong to you. You think you're strong enough now, so you can ignore us old guys, right?"
Facing the huge hat that was put on him, He Sizhao still looked indifferent.
"I dare not. Whether or not you are doing me justice is not something a junior like me can ask."
He seemed calm, but in fact, every word he said was full of sarcasm. With his strength, saying such words was like someone pointing a rocket tube at your head as a joke. Who would dare not take it seriously?
The smile on Wen Changchuan's face disappeared, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look at Su Mo.
"You don't have to say more to me." Su Mo crossed his arms and said without raising his eyes, "Brother Zhao's meaning is my meaning. You can do whatever you want."
Seeing that neither of these two people was willing to fall for his tricks, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Wen Changchuan's face.
He didn't care that there were many soldiers around him, and there was a hint of mysterious temptation in his voice.
"Your words really pain me. Even if you've been wronged, you can just tell me directly. I'm here, so why should I be afraid of not making the decision for you? You..."
He pretended to hold his heart in a heartache gesture, and Lu Qianzhi was immediately shocked and supported him: "Teacher! How are you?"
A trace of confusion flashed across He Sizhao's eyes, but he quickly regained clarity. He looked at Wen Changchuan and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"If that's all you're saying, there's no need to waste your breath," he said. "If you want to arrest us, go ahead."
He stood tall and straight, guarding the door behind him tightly. He had a calm and composed aura, like a single man guarding the pass.
Both he and everyone here knew that even if Lu Qianzhi was on the opposite side, they might not be able to suppress He Sizhao if all the people attacked together.
It will only cause unnecessary losses.
Wen Changchuan lowered his eyes to hide the haze in his eyes, and raised them again after a few seconds, with a helpless and kind look on his face.
"Are you really going to do it here? Admiral Su and the girl you care about are here." He spoke gently and patiently, as if comforting an unruly child. "She's seriously ill, isn't she? If your goal is just to get a good treatment, why go to this extent? This won't benefit any of us."
He Shizhao's eyes narrowed.
This is a compromise, a threat, and even more of a bargaining chip.
He was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose?"
…
Jiang Chuyi walked in the long corridor. Because of the crisis that broke out before, most of the people inside had already fled. Few people had the confidence and courage like Wang Kangping.
The more there was no one around, the more her thoughts became heavier.
An undeniable sense of familiarity emerged from the bottom of my heart and gradually strengthened.
She had clearly never been here before, so why did it feel so familiar?
Ji Xia followed her fearfully, holding his weapon, always on guard against what was around him, afraid that something might suddenly pop up from somewhere.
He asked tentatively in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, there's nothing to see in this hospital. Should we go back now?"
Jiang Chuyi ignored him and continued walking forward.
There really wasn't much to see, but she couldn't ignore the feeling in her heart that she had been here before and had stayed here for a long time.
She seemed to have been to every department and every examination room many times. Even if she pushed the door open, she could figure out what she should do.
Just not as a research subject, but as a researcher.
This thought made her face look unhappy for a moment.
To verify her idea, she came to the door of an examination room and looked at the combination lock on it.
Ji Xia was shocked: "You don't want to just remove the lock and go in, do you? There's really nothing to see in here!"
However, Jiang Chuyi stretched out her slender fingers and pressed the combination lock a few times.
With a click, the door lock opened.
Ji Xia: ...? !
Jiang Chuyi looked at his fingers without showing any surprise.
She didn't know the password, but when she put her hand on it, she subconsciously wanted to press the numbers.
She had read in a book that humans call this phenomenon "muscle memory." It is only after experiencing the same action thousands of times that one can perform these actions naturally without thinking.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes were a little gloomy.
Of course she had never been here, because she was not from this world at all.
...but the original body is.
The original plot only tells about her experiences after she became the Zombie King. No one knows what she experienced before that.
Could it be that the original person had worked in this hospital before?
Jiang Chuyi glanced at the scene in the inspection room and turned to leave.
Ji Xia immediately closed the door and looked at Jiang Chuyi with a strange look.
Jiang Chuyi ignored him. Although she felt very familiar with this place, she didn't know if it was the influence of her previous life, but the air here made her feel uncomfortable.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go to another floor, Ji Xia's communicator suddenly rang.
He was startled by the silence.
He quickly answered the call, and He Sizhao's voice came from inside: "Where are you?"
"In..." Ji Xia looked up at the sign next to him, "Virus Research Department."
"Wait there."
He Sizhao quickly cut off the call. Ji Xia looked at Jiang Chuyi in confusion. If this guy didn't want to stay here honestly, he might not be able to control himself.
Fortunately, Jiang Chuyi didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to walk. After hearing He Sizhao's voice, he stood still and just stared coldly at the examination room where he had just come out.
In less than half a minute, He Sizhao appeared beside them. Seeing Jiang Chuyi standing there safely, there was a look of relief in his eyes.
He nodded to Ji Xia, then bowed and looked Jiang Chuyi in the eye. "Today's examination is over. Let's go home first. When Su Mo and Professor Wang are ready, I'll accompany you for treatment, okay?"
Jiang Chuyi was silent for a moment, and amidst He Sizhao's barely perceptible nervousness, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay."
She didn't want to stay here now, but there were still some things she needed to figure out, so she could come back next time.
He Sizhao's tense expression relaxed instantly, his eyes showed a mixture of love and heartache, and he opened his arms to her.
Jiang Chuyi habitually hooked her arms around his neck and let him pick her up.
"I have nothing to do today, let's go back first." He Sizhao said to Ji Xia, "It's been hard work."
"How could that be? I didn't help much." Ji Xia showed an embarrassed look. He looked at Jiang Chuyi, who was buried in He Sizhao's arms and seemed very tired, and changed his mind and said, "Go back and have a good rest."
He Sizhao nodded briefly and strode away from the spot just as he had come.
It was not until he got in the car that Jiang Chuyi realized that there were four people when they came, but now there were only two left, and He Sizhao was already starting the car.
"Where is Su Mo?" she asked.
"Su Mo's father is also receiving treatment here. I'm going to visit his father now." He Sizhao said, "Are you still hungry? I'll make you something delicious when I get home."
Jiang Chuyi's attention was immediately drawn: "By the way, you said this morning that you would bring me some vegetables I haven't eaten before. What did you bring?"
A hint of smile appeared in He Sizhao's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by pain. He steadied his breath before speaking, "Of course I brought it for you. I'll make it for you when I get back."
Jiang Chuyi showed a slight smile on his face.
As they walked back, Lu Qianzhi was helping Wen Changchuan get back into the car.
He was like a child who had done something wrong, always keeping his head down and not daring to look at Wen Changchuan.
"Qianzhi, you know I've always had high expectations of you, far more than I have for you, my senior brother." Wen Changchuan was gentle yet stern. With so few people around, that subtle allure was maximized. "But this time, you've disappointed me."
"I'm sorry, teacher." There was a hint of pain in Lu Qianzhi's voice, "But Xiaoyi was undergoing an examination at the time, and I couldn't interrupt her."
"Because of your hesitation, you missed a great opportunity, you know?"
Lu Qianzhi lowered his head even deeper.
"But it doesn't matter. You still need to practice, and this is a chance for you to see the difference in strength between you and He Sizhao." Wen Changchuan said, "Now that you see it, be more prepared next time."
"As long as the result is what we want, we can wait no matter how long it takes."
As he spoke, he didn't notice the painful look in Lu Qianzhi's eyes, which was a mixture of clarity and confusion, and the gradually brightening light of paranoia.
…
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Chuyi was unexpectedly met with a series of ghostly howls.
"You guys went to fight, and you didn't even take me with you!" Wuyi howled heartbreakingly, his voice carrying two miles away. "I heard about this from someone else!"
No matter how many times it happened, Jiang Chuyi could not get used to this decibel attack, and his face immediately turned pale.
In the past, He Sizhao ignored Wuyi, but this time, when he saw her expression, he immediately reached out and grabbed Wuyi's collar and threw him aside.
"Control your voice in front of Xiaoyi from now on."
Jiang Chuyi was so surprised that he forgot to howl and covered his forehead with his hands.
It was over. She now sensed from He Sizhao's attitude towards her that he was even more cautious than he was with glass.
